[quote user="Erie-diamond"]Here's another alternative. If there is a model rr club near you, visit them and maybe they would take it off your hands and you will know it will be put to good use.[/quote] Honestly, as a member of several model railroad clubs, I have noticed little interest from the club as a whole.  They might offer to put your layout in their club newsletter. Individual members may be interested, but the club as a group typically doesnt want someone else's unfinished layout hanging around the clubhouse (if there's a clubhouse, there is probably already a layout in there).  One of the clubs I am in actually used to specifically state on the contact us page that we dont buy train collections/layouts.  We would still get people who dont read the contact us section.  If you do go down the route of talking to local clubs, make sure they dont specifically state that they are not interested on their website. My personal experience with this is the layout gets disassembled anyway (not many vehicles fit a 4x8, 5x9 or larger layout in one piece), and the track, lumber, salvageable cork, and buildings get parted out separately to different new owners.  As others stated, for pennies on the dollar.    There are a few very specific cases where a whole layout will net you some money, but its not the typical experience. Your mileage may vary.
